I'm not really a bolt-action guy, but you lost my interest when the barrel brand was mentioned.

Perhaps a reasonable point, but it might depend upon the target market. If potential buyers know their barrel brands reasonably well, they will want to know the source of the barrel blank. If the target audience isn't expected to be so well informed, you might could claim that you have a nondisclosure agreement with the barrel maker if / when asked by a customer.
Try to see the product offering through the eyes of your target audience, and let that steer your decisions and direction.
